LPC Main Choir

Associate Choir

Offering an opportunity to work with World-class conductors and orchestras, LPC is always happy to receive applications for membership in all voice ranges (soprano, alto, tenor and bass). If you have a good (but not necessarily trained) voice, with reasonable sight-reading ability, why not come along and sit in on a rehearsal evening?

Rehearsals are held weekly from 6.45 to 8.45 pm on Mondays at Guthlaxton College, South Wigston during the season. Additional rehearsals with visiting conductors and orchestras take place on the Friday evening and Saturday afternoon before the final performance.

After a few rehearsals, if you decide to join us, we ask you to take a short voice test to confirm that you can sing in tune, work from a vocal score and blend with others. It also helps us place you in the appropriate voice section. We do not expect you to be an expert sight-reader and there is no sight-reading examination in the test. It is more important that you can hold pitch and have a voice quality which works in a choir.Subject to a satisfactory test result you can then become a full member of the Phil. Full choir members are re-tested every 3 years.

LPC is a group of singers who are supportive of each other in order to maintain a professional choral standard and provide a worthwhile community experience for all its members. To help new members settle in we may introduce them to a mentor within the choir and also provide guidance on individual external vocal tuition for applicants where this is desirable.

Annual membership costs £95 for the 2011/2012 season, payable at the start of the season in September.

Students and concessions pay a reduced rate.

If you enjoy singing why not come and meet us at Guthlaxton College, Station Road, Wigston LE18 2DS on Monday evenings at 18:45.

To make application or find out more details about the Phil, please contact the Membership Secretary, Helen Marston at memsec@thephil.org.uk.

LPC Associate Choir

If you would like to try us out but don't feel ready to join the main LPC choir we have the LPC Associate Choir (LPAC) which offers a singing group for those who want to explore the world of group singing but without committing to full membership of the main choir.

Members of LPAC enjoy singing informally with the emphasis on enjoyment and without the need to prepare for formal concerts. Members of LPAC can join LPC as and when they feel ready to. More details...
